Looking for a chew my dog can chew on :)

the_devil_made_me_do_it

My dog isn't a huge fan of Stag bars. He gets fed up of them very easily. I used to buy him raw hide chews, but since suffering from Pancreatitis I no longer buy him those kind of chews.

He does need something to chew on, as he is destroying his toys now.

Would be grateful if someone can offer recommendations

Have you tried nylabones? They're the only thing Gitdog can have, he's too much of a power chewer for anything else. He does get bored with it, so I play with him with it for a bit, throwing it for him to fetch or using it as a tug toy, then he'll settle down for a good munch.

I think I tried one a while back and he just ignored it lol. He does get a denti stick once a day.

Funnily enough I was searching the net for possible chew options and came across this website. It doesn't recommend giving dogs hard chews like stag bars ect. What it says makes a lot of sense too.

Zooplus have a large range of treats, natural and processed. I don't know if the lower fat natural treats will be an option - e.g. rabbit ears, dried chicken.

Alternatively, you could invest in a dehydrator and create your own! You can then select the un-fatty cuts of meat to dehydrate, and things like sweet potato could work too.

The lower the fat the better. He's now on a low fat diet to control the Pancreatitis. Also needs to be digestible too.

I will have a look on Zooplus

For you OP & also Elsien's dear angel Gitdog!!!

Try these they are like Nylabones but they have a really strong Beefy / OXO smelling paste in the centre of the plastic. My girl loves hers much more than the proper Nylabones and they are usually quite a bit cheaper too!

Lots of good reviews too!

why can't he eat rawhide treats ?

My vet said raw hide stuff and pigs ears were too fattening. We too have stag bars about the place, I buy the tripe filled calcium bones . I havnt tried the bull horns yet?

I think I'm going to buy my girl a stag bar, never tried her with one of those!

What do you do - how do you store them? like do you just leave it out all the time or give it as a treat now and again keep it somewhere cold in between?

Probably stupid questions....but I'm clueless!!

Our stag bars are just out all the time or chucked in the toy box. They aren't smelly,sticky or anything
